Does all accounting firms all give just enough exam money reimbursement for the cpa exam? Or there are some room for failing?

Most companies only pay for the exam after passing. I’ve never seen a company offer to pay for a failed attempt for any certifications.

Crowe gives you enough to purchase Becker and sit 5 times. So you can fail once. At least that's how it was when I took it.

Crowe has the best policy I’ve seen and it wasn’t close... started January 2021 - $3,500 allowance for materials and fees. Also 5k if passed in first year or 2k 18 months for campus hires.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
